Abstract: The article contains several observations on spherical harmonics and their nodal sets: a construction for harmonics with prescribed zeroes; a kind of canonical representation of this type for harmonics on $$; upper and lower bounds for nodal length and inner radius (the upper bounds are sharp); precise upper bound for the number of common zeroes of two spherical harmonics on $$; the mean Hausdorff measure on the intersection of $k$ nodal sets for harmonics of different degrees on $$, where $kleqm$ (in particular, the mean number of common zeroes of $m$ harmonics).
